Wireless & Networks

Connect Cisco Cius to a wireless network before launching an Internet application such as the e-mail or browser application.

To connect to a wireless network, use the Setup Assistant that runs automatically the first time that you use your Cisco Cius. If you choose not to connect to a wireless network with the Setup Assistant, you can use the Settings application to connect to a wireless network. You can add a total of four wireless network profiles.

Web Proxy

Depending on your security settings, you may need to connect to a web proxy to access the Internet. If a VPN is enabled, you cannot use a web proxy with that VPN. Contact your system administrator for more information.

AnyConnect VPN

Your system administrator sets up the AnyConnect VPN application. After the application is set up, connect the Cisco Cius to a secure gateway to access a VPN.

AnyConnect VPN allows you to have secure remote access to corporate resources on your Cisco Cius. For security reasons, it is usually recommended that you connect to a VPN through a wired network connection. A media station is required for a wired network connection.

If your system administrator has set up a VPN connection profile for you with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, it will appear in the VPN Connection list. You cannot edit or delete these VPN connections.

Your system administrator can enable you to create and edit your own VPN connections.

AutoNetDetect

If your system administrator enables the AutoNetDetect feature for a VPN connection profile set up with Cisco Unified CM, the Phone application will automatically attempt to establish a VPN connection.

Password Persistence

If your system administrator enables the Password Persistence feature for a VPN connection profile set up with Cisco Unified CM, the AnyConnect VPN application will store a previously successful password. You cannot change a working password.

VPN Transitioning

When your Cisco Cius SP transitions from a 4G to Wi-Fi network during a call over VPN, the 4G connection is maintained until the call ends.

When your Cisco Cius SP transitions from a Wi-Fi network to a 4G network, the call drops.

Mobile Network

Use a Cisco Cius SP with a SIM card to connect to a mobile network. When you connect your Cius to a Wi-Fi network, or when you connect your Cius to an HD media station and an Ethernet connection, your Cius will immediately disconnect from the mobile network. If you are on a call when you connect your Cius to a Wi-Fi network or an Ethernet connection, your Cius will disconnect from the mobile network when the call is completed.

Do Not Disturb

When DND is enabled, your incoming calls are forwarded to another number, such as your voicemail if your voicemail is set up. The forwarded call is not saved or listed in your call history.

The DND feature affects all the lines on a phone. However, it does not affect 911 calls.

Your system administrator sets up a line button on your phone for DND with the ringer and visual notifications off by default. However, you can change your DND options from your User Options web pages.

When you answer the call with the Phone application, the remote destinations stop ringing, are disconnected, and display a missed call message.

When you answer the call on one remote destination, the other remote destinations and Phone application stop ringing and are disconnected, and a missed call message is shown on the other remote destinations.

When you answer the call on one remote destination and then switch the call to a Cisco Unified device that shares lines, the Cisco Unified devices that share the same line display a Remote In Use message.

To set up Mobile Connect, use the User Options web pages to set up remote destinations and create access lists to allow or block calls from specific phone numbers from being passed to the remote destinations.

Secure and Nonsecure Indication Tone

When a phone is set up as secure (encrypted and trusted), it can be given a "protected" status. After that, if desired, the protected phone can be configured to play an indication tone at the beginning of a call.

Only protected phones hear these secure or nonsecure indication tones. (Nonprotected phones never hear tones.) If the overall call status changes during the call, the indication tone changes accordingly. The protected phone plays the appropriate tone.

A protected phone plays a tone or not under these circumstances:

When the option to play a tone, "Play Secure Indication Tone option," is enabled (True):

When end-to-end secure media is established and the call status is secure, the Phone application plays the secure indication tone (three long beeps with pauses).

When end-to-end nonsecure media is established and the call status is nonsecure, the Phone application plays the nonsecure indication tone (six short beeps with brief pauses). (This capability is a change with this release.)

When the Play Secure Indication Tone option is disabled, no tone is played.

For more information, contact your system administrator.

Shared Lines

Shared lines allow you to use one phone number for multiple phones.

If you share a line with a coworker, the following options are available:

When a call comes in on the shared line:

Your phone rings.

Your coworker’s phone rings and either you or your coworker can answer the call.

When your coworker has a call on the shared line, the coworker’s call is displayed on your screen (unless your coworker has Privacy enabled).

The Clock application displays the time and the date. If you are charging the battery, the Clock application displays the battery life. The Clock application also allows you to set alarms, view a slideshow of your pictures, and access the Music Player application.

Desktop Virtualization

These desktop virtualization clients are available from Cisco AppHQ and have been optimized to run on Cisco Cius. Do not download generic versions of these applications from other application repositories.

Desktop virtualization technologies may offer a degraded level of performance when remotely accessing audio, video and interactive multimedia resources. Unlike other desktop virtualization endpoints, Cisco Cius features a local voice and video media plane which enables Cius to connect to media traffic through the device itself and outside of the remote desktop display protocol. For example, two Cisco Cius users in the same branch can call each other using Cisco Unified Personal Communicator running on their remote virtual desktop and, while the control (signaling) plane resides in the data center, the audio and video connection between the users never leaves the branch. The branch network applies packet prioritization to the RTP flow, and the two Cius connect directly to each other without the need for the voice to traverse the WAN twice to reach the data center. This delivers the best quality experience for audio and video collaboration without inflating the bandwidth consumption over the WAN.

The desktop virtualization experience on Cius includes keyboard and mouse support when the Cius is docked in the HD media station. However, the desktop virtualization clients retain the touch-mode behavior, and some keyboard and mouse actions may differ from a typical Microsoft Windows experience. For a description of supported keyboard shortcuts and mouse actions, refer to the USB Keyboard and Mouse section of this guide.
